After a brief period of sunny weather, the German Life Saving Association (DLRG) says the country saw one of the worst periods for fatalities at swimming spots in a decade.
It was the deadliest weekend so far this year, with rescuers lamenting a growing trend of tragedies and more sweltering weather on the way.
Meanwhile, Germany’s Friedrich Merz continues a string of summit debuts as chancellor, as he meets EU counterparts in Brussels.
